- fighting for my rights to honest neurological care denied in canada, had invite when first started, , they know me as Sunshine Ray, joining to show solidarity and do the little I can/able to, I am still fighting for my rights, made video and did another short for Gaza I wish I could do more/
I have done alot of online activisim,, for Gaza/Palestine quite abit, Mada, Dave C, and many others opened my eyes some years back and I followed the palestine bloggers, desert peace, many others, Ben Heine for some years .. I am here to show solidarity and some posts as well as on care2, often I can only copy, paste and click, autofill petitions, even with that I can get news stories on care2 into the search engines for gaza/palestine, even if I can only note others to help them. As, I can not help others further unless I get the help I need for myself, I can't even care for myself I need others to do that, I am quite limited presently and often failing miserable at keeping my focus on me..
my sites are not ready to go, and tryin gto keep focus on getting them done and help for me, government corruption abounds everywhere including oh canada
I have suffered greatly in my life and presently and with a corrupt government, and I think of the many against the one, or the many against those less powerful, and my heart breaks for palestinians, as it does for any people hurting, or oppressed.
I support/sponsor my 2nd child/family since 1996, well she is almost a woman now, in Chad Africa, which has been daunting being on disabiltiy.

alaa hassan said… - I'm a student in Al – Aqsa university in Gaza (the besieged territory in the occupied Palestine).I'm in the last session of my study. I managed myself to continue my high study after finishing my university's study. I really shocked when the officials told me that passports are not allowed for civilians' residence in the strip, despite the closed crossings before. Here, in Gaza everything is closed off. It is the time of solidarity with the Palestinian people. We as Palestinians support your demands .Your actions of solidarity remind us with the international solidarity campaign against the apartheid South Africa. We have been prevented to go outside Gaza. I'm stilling ask myself, which sin I have committed to be prevented to go outside and continue my life's dreams. Israel is stilling commit brutal massacres against civilians in both West Bank and Gaza Strip; slow genocide in Gaza strip and ethnic cleansing in West Bank. Israel imposed a restricted siege around Gaza strip after the won of Hamas movement in the Palestinian legislative election as a collective punishment of the Palestinians' democratic choice Actually, it's the due time to boycott the apartheid Israel in both sides academically and politically.

bon lucero said… - hi cheryl, thank you for that post on IAW. these are what drawing attention towards the palestinian issue would need: focal points so people get a chance to focus on the issue and on a regular basis.
by the way, why the date?: (March 1-8)
